#1. #1 doesn't usually win, oddly enough. I decided if I didn't write a response now, I would forget. Anyway, that piece of jewelry is beautiful and I just love the sentiment. Such "inspiring" words to live by. Donna-you are wonderful and thanks for bringing up such great inspiration and gifts!!!
Have a great holiday weekend!!
